Representation Matters.

Wisconsin is a culturally, ethnically, linguistically, and socio-economically diverse state. Students feel empowered when they can see themselves reflected in their own learning. Our solution embodies the richness of Wisconsin's diverse community and offers multiple perspectives for students to explore.

Flexibility and Engagement at its core.

Wisconsin Social Studies is designed to accommodate any learning environment. Embedded within the management guide are ways to support whole group, small group, and independent learning.

Each grade level program is designed to be effectively taught with little to no prep time. Lessons are parsed into quick learning activities and educators can effectively teach content in as little as 15 minutes a day.

Digital access is provided for all teacher-facing and student-facing resources. Interactive eBooks, audiobooks, and PDFs of texts allow for increased flexibility and support for below-level readers.

Inquiry and Literacy Instruction

Real-life replicas of primary sources bring history to life! Ignite student inquiry through hands-on experiences and intentional questioning.

In collaboration with iCivics, our high-interest anchor texts provide students with the content knowledge to think deeply around what it means to be an engaged citizen with the local community, state, and nation.

Promote reading comprehension, academic vocabulary, reading fluency, and civic engagement through our readers.
